Dash boats are a type of boat that can be towed behind a vehicle, making them a great option for those who want to enjoy the water without the hassle of storing a full-sized boat.
Dash boats are typically 8-14 feet in length, and can be powered by a small outboard motor or even an electric motor for a more eco-friendly option.
To keep your dash boat in top condition, it's essential to regularly clean and inspect the hull for any damage or debris that may have accumulated.

Dash Boat Features
The R3 – 3” Universal Engine Monitor Display is a game-changer for your dash boat. It can act as a drop-in replacement for analog gauges, making it easy to upgrade your existing setup.
This digital display has six analog and four digital inputs, allowing you to connect all your core senders and sensors, such as fuel level, rudder angle, trim, depth, speed, and heading. You can then display all this information on the three-inch display.
The R3 display comes pre-installed with the Universal Engine Monitor application, which provides a traditional round analog gauge styling, but with a fully round LCD-color display and touch screen. There are no actual buttons – just tap and swipe technology for easy navigation.

Maintenance and Repair
Regular maintenance is crucial to extend the life of your dash boat's engine.
Check the oil level every week and change it every 100 hours of operation.
Make sure to properly store your dash boat in a dry place when not in use to prevent damage from moisture.
For minor repairs, keep a basic toolkit and spare parts on board.
Regular cleaning of the hull and propeller can help prevent corrosion and improve performance.
